Survey - Publications of Significance to Contemporary Peace Education
Posted by CR Ed on Sep 30, 11
Peace Educator Betty Reardon has put out a call for nominations for recent publications of significance to peace education. The purpose of the survey is to take the first step toward identifying the major concepts and issues that form the substance of contemporary peace education, the commonalities and differences in current content and teaching-learning, its foundational philosophies, the social and political purpose it pursues and the educational goals and learning objectives of the practitioners, and the teaching/learning methods used to achieve the objectives.
You can get more details and contribute your nominations via an online form hosted by the Global Campaign for Peace Education. A word version of the nomination form is available here.

In keeping with the key peace education principles of embracing inclusivity, diversity and creativity, we encourage a wide variety of submissions from a wide variety of peace education practitioners, educators, writers, theorists, and researchers. Possible contributions include scholarly research and reports, professional development materials, lesson plans, personal reflections and narratives, creative writing, multimedia resources, book reviews, and visual art.

Harmony Island Game - Anybody Testing It?
Posted by CR Ed on Jan 11, 09
Academic Edge Inc. developed an intriguing conflict resolution game for middle and high school age youth called Harmony Island. They were inviting classrooms to participate in additional research on the product, giving away free site licenses to participant schools. Has anybody taken them up on this offer? Looks like a good opportunity if it is still in effect.
